Quote from: "RW"I have understood this as being part of show business.  They sell sex and sexy women.  The part where he tries to have sex with them is yucky though.



All media is a joke Renee.

Yeah, but some are bigger jokes than others.

Quote from: "RW"Why don't you stop attacking Romero and address the issue?



Women shouldn't go to work to be sexually harassed.  How does it work when you are hired based on your looks and your body though?



The trouble in Hollywood, you complain and you get shit listed.

You can be outraged all you want but the bottom line is....in show business (which is exactly what cable news is) you get in front of the camera on your looks. Merit has very little to do with it....Ever notice how all the female "journalists" :laugh3:  on TV are all tall, slender and conventionally attractive? Think that's a coincidence?



Even if they don't have two brain cells to rub together, as long as you are cookie cutter beautiful, your in.



If you want to be a player then you have to play the game. A little sexual harassment is all part of it and has been since the advent of public entertainment.



Is it right......he'll no....but it's reality. AND it translates to our everyday life as well. As much as we turn a jaundiced eye toward sexism and gender prejudice, it still exists.



Look at it this way.....hypothetically....if you and I were vying for the same job and we were both equally qualified....who do you think would get considered first? The tall, slender, attractive woman OR the short fat troll?



I'm really tired of the faux outrage regarding sexual harassment, especially since it only comes out to play when one of the so-called "beautiful" people end up as it's target.

Quote from: "cc la femme"The laws Billybob brought in were for senior positions using that power on others, period



"Willing" does not stop filing charges in a "power" situation ... Ghomeshi  being an example  ... only the "victims" lack of credibility  saved his ass. Blue dress didn't file is the difference.



The current ones do claim harassment / misuse of power as I understand it.

What great advice for women getting into journalism. Great advice for men as well, considering you're giving them a free pass to sexually harass.



Is sexual assault just part of it too?



And of course there's sexual harassment everywhere outside of journalism and public entertainment. Are you saying that women should accept sexual harassment, or is it just okay at Fox News?

Herman, do you have anything to contribute to this debate aside from shitting on Romero?  If not, start a thread in RR.

Quote from: "RW"My advice for women who are serious about journalism would be to avoid Fox News because it isn't a fucking news channel.



Now tell me Romero, how do you avoid comments about body and image in an industry that hires for it?

Quote from: "Renee"I don't see anything wrong with calling out Romero's motivation for posting this crap?

There are going to be comments and emphasis on body image, but I think we can draw a line when it comes to sexual harassment and assault.

Quote from: "RW"Why does Romero do what he's always done?  Let's beat that dead horse to death some more.  We know why he posts it.  It's something of interest to him.  Why ruin every thread with this needless shit?



God I'm getting tired of this place.

Quote from: "RW"You OP kind of covered both so where is the line?

Quote from: "RW"You OP kind of covered both so where is the line?

It's one thing to insist that your employees dress sexy, but employees shouldn't have to endure years of sexual harassment and humiliation.



The line is when it gets personal. Some women allege they were pressured into sexual favours for employment.

QuoteFormer Fox News commentator sentenced to prison for faking CIA ties



A man who has appeared on Fox News as a guest "terrorism analyst" was sentenced to 33 months in prison on Friday on charges that he fraudulently claimed to have been a CIA agent for decades, U.S. prosecutors said.



Wayne Simmons, 62, of Annapolis, Maryland, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement.



"Wayne Simmons is a fraud. Simmons has no military or intelligence background, or any skills relevant to the positions he attained through his fraud," said Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.



Simmons had appeared on Fox News, a unit of 21st Century Fox and the top-ranked U.S. cable television news network, as an unpaid guest analyst on terrorism since 2002.



A grand jury indicted him in October for portraying himself as an "Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer" for the Central Intelligence Agency from 1973 to 2000.



Instead of working for the CIA, Simmons' jobs during that period included nightclub doorman, bookie, manager of a rent-by-the-hour hot tub business, mortgage broker and defensive back for the National Football League's New Orleans Saints, the statement said.

QuoteReport: Fox News CEO Roger Ailes Is On His Way Out



Media Matters' Brock: Fox News "Undisputed Champion Of Sexism," No Surprise It "Starts At The Top"



Rupert Murdoch and his sons Lachlan and James, the heads of Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox, have decided to give embattled Fox CEO Roger Ailes the choice to resign or be fired, according to a report from New York's Gabriel Sherman.



Ailes, who has led the conservative network since its inception, has been under fire since July 6, when Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against him alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. As other women have come forward to levy similar accusations against Ailes, the network's hosts and anchors -- along with Republican presidential  nominee Donald Trump -- have rallied around him.



But the Murdochs have taken the charges more seriously, hiring the law firm Paul, Weiss to conduct an investigation of the allegations. According to Sherman, the investigation has expanded to cover Ailes' "controversial management style," and based on its initial findings the Murdochs have decided that "Ailes needs to go," with the only question being the timing.

QuoteFox News Run As A 'Playboy Mansion-Like Cult,' Ex-Host Claims



Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros claims in an explosive new lawsuit that disgraced ex­-network chairman Roger Ailes sexually harassed her and that high-­ranking executives fostered a newsroom culture in which abusive behavior flourished.



"Fox News masquerades as defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-­fueled, Playboy Mansion-­like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny," the suit reads.



Ailes was "the primary culprit," according to the suit, but "his actions were condoned by his most senior lieutenants who engaged in a concerted effort to silence Tantaros by threats, humiliation and retaliation."
